Hi everyone.

I have a Entity Class which has annotation into fields and class level, this class has a DAO implementation.

By integrity, I built a custom validation annotation to class level and its validator.

The problem is when the junit test is run, this validated the field annotations constraints, like @NotNull or @Min, while the annotation put to the class is ignored it

The validation does nothing.

BTW. I am using springframework.

Hi,

Some more context would be helpful to answer your question.

How exactly are you triggering validation? Do you do it yourself (via the javax.validation.Validator API) or is it done automatically using specific lifecycle hooks, e.g. upon persisting the entities or when binding user input from a frontend to the model? I'm asking because in many integrations of UI techs and Bean Validation, class-level constraints are not applied by default.

Also how do your entity and custom constraint look like?
